Squeeze upgrade killed Spamassassin daemon init scriptSpama

Falko,
I followed your ISP setup in Etch... and upgraded succesfully to Lenny.
Now, a year later, I "dist-upgraded" to squeeze and have a problem.
My old cron was "sa-update --nogpg && /etc/init.d/spamd restart"
That now fails, since there is no "/etc/init.d/spamd" script.

I get that changing the cron to ".../init.d/spamassassin" will fix the startup problem. What I don't get is why it shouldn't be ".../spamd -d", and why the Debian dist-upgrade didn't take care of the cron entry... Thanks!!

1. it shouldn't be spamd -d .. because this way you're calling the daemon binary itself, and will not fork into the background, it'll stay in the foreground until you kill it (with f.e. CTRL-C).

2. The cron entry is something that you've added manually, the dist-upgrade will not change manually changed values/settings etc. You've added that entry, so it's you're responsibility to see if it still works.
